[SP] Peeper Greeter
==================

You only have one chance to make a first impression.

.

So what is the [SP] Peeper Greeter?
==============================

The [SP] Peeper Greeter plays a configurable sound/music/audio for anyone peeping (camming in on) your avatar up close.

This enables you to set your own vibe when people look at you with any SL audio clip.

Make people laugh, mesmerize and enchant them, or scare them right off depending on the personal vibe YOU set.

You are now only limited by your imagination.

.

How does the [SP] Peeper Greeter work ?
===================================

The [SP] Peeper Greeter plays a continuous sound around your avi but tells the viewers to ignore it unless their camera comes within a close range.

Any avatar who's cam position comes in close range will hear the sound. Incl you if we didn't do our best to prevent that with the configurable 'Stop4Me' feature.

.

What are the MENU options?
=========================

The images show the current version of the menu.

.

[Upload] - Allows you to manage your uploads through dropping extra soundfiles in the contents.

[Input] - Allows you to enter a song number for quick selection. OR allows you to enter a sound UUID for manual upload of a sound without using contents.

*NOTE! We recommend using sound clips with at least 0.5 second intro silence to allow the [SP] Peeper Greeter time to detect your own cam position in order for the [Stop4Me] function to work correctly!

.

Configuration Menu:
-------------------------

[Auto Open] - Will present the menu when you wear it automatically. Turn off when you are no longer a newbie with the system.

What is required for this gadget to work?
===================================

* The viewer setting 'Hear media and sounds from:', found at Preferences: 'Sound & Media - Sounds', should be set to hear from 'camera position' which is the default setting, rather than hear from 'avatar position'.

* A reasonably well running region.
DISCLAIMER: In very laggy environments the Stop4Me feature simply can't act quickly enough to detect your camera position to stop the sound system on time for you not to hear it yourself. The effect on other people is not affected.

.

What does the [SP] Peeper Greeter NOT do?
======================================

It can't let you know who is zooming on you.

Although this script seems magical in its operation to many and we are pushing what is possible in SL to extremes, it actually has no way of knowing who is actually zooming in and hearing your sound.
